Fluency in the Middle and Senior Classes
What role should fluency play in effective literacy instruction in the middle and senior classes? In this webinar, we will explore what research tells us about fluency for our older readers and how to use assessment to determine the nature of the instruction required. We will consider different components of fluency in order to provide targeted intervention.
